September in Waipara...

Bud burst this year began around the tail end of the first week in September for most varietals. This seemed to be about the same time as last year. So far the start to the season has been dry with the occasional big day of north-west wind and not much rainfall. Quite normal and quite good. No real frost issues as yet but it isn't even October yet so anything could happen. Suffice to say that the wind machines and helicopters are fuelled and ready to go if needed.
Real growth in the last week or so.
